Raison d'être

This blog is about discoveries; interviews, art, culture, my personal thoughts and reflections.

My professional background is in accountancy, information systems, mathematics and finance. A big part of me is in love with art in its varying forms so I created this blog to free myself by writing and to linger in the various worlds of creative personalities through interviews and discoveries of art, style, fashion and culture.
